Here's a question to what should be a simple answer, but I'm not seeing 
it.  Perhaps I need a vacation.  :)

I have a label to which I set the .Vertical property to True.  The label 
does run vertically, but from top to bottom with the bottom of the words 
facing left.  How do I get the little bugger to run vertically from bottom 
to top with the bottom of the words facing right?  It seems to me that it 
should be a another property setting but I don't see one.

As far as I know it can't be done in Access.

Sure you can.  Create it in the US and read it from Australia!  Grin.

Greg, I have on my computer a font called "Aachen Vertical".  if you use this font
with 'vertical' property switched to 'Yes',  the label displays like this:

T
H
I
S

W            (The letters are justified properly, not like this example)
A
Y
 
U
P

However, if you leave 'vertical' switched to 'No',  the label displays in the way you want.
Just one thing, you have to type the caption in backwards in this case!
I can send you this font if it helps.
Regards, Wesley Kendrick

Found this when looking for something else and thought of your problem. I 
have not tried it but it might be what you are looking for. Give it a shot.
